God ~ submitted by Mavis
She hurried to the pharmacy to get medication, got back to her car and found that she had locked her keys inside. The woman found an old rusty coat hanger left on the ground. She looked at it and said, "I don't know how to use this." She bowed her head and asked God to send her some HELP. Within 5 minutes a beat-up old motorcycle pulled up, driven by a bearded man who was wearing an old biker skull rag. He got off of his cycle and asked if he could help. She replied, "Yes, my daughter is sick. I've locked my keys in my car. I must get home. Please, can you use this hanger to unlock my car?" He answered, "Sure." He walked over to the car, and in less than a minute the car was open. She hugged the man and through tears said, "Thank You, God, for send-ing me such a very nice man." The man heard her little prayer and replied, "Lady, I am NOT a nice man. I just got out of prison yesterday; I was in prison for car theft." The woman hugged the man again, sobbing, "Oh, thank you, God! You even sent me a Professional!"

Upcoming Readings
A Prayer for Everyone
Lord, keep me from being too talkative, especially
keep me from expressing an opinion on everything,
and stop me from jumping in to straighten out
everyone.
Keep me from reciting endless detail; give me
insight to get to the point.
Give me grace, Lord, to listen with patience
when others describe their aches and pains, and help
me to keep my lips sealed; and prevent me from
sharing my own, much worse, aches and pains.
Teach me that, occasionally, I might be
mistaken.
Make me thoughtful, but not moody; helpful,
but not pushy; independent, yet gracefully accepting
favours that others wish to give me.
Free me of the notion that because I have live a
few years I am wiser than most people.
If I don’t like some changes that have taken
place, give me the wisdom to keep my mouth shut.
You know, Lord, that when the end comes I would
like to have a friend or two left.
